FIG. 1 illustrates a data center security control module 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The data center security control module 100 includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) 10, a chip selection module 20, and a control module 30. The data center security control module 100 can be plugged into a computer system (such as a server) that supports DC-SCM. The data center security control module 100 is connected to an external motherboard (Intel platform motherboard 40 or AMD platform motherboard 50) as shown in FIG. 2 . In one embodiment, the control module 30 may be a hardware device with a control function, that is, the control module 30 may have a controller.

Taking the data center security control module 100 as an example that can be applied to Intel platform, AMD platform, and Ampere platform, the external motherboard can be the motherboard of the Intel platform, the AMD platform, or the Ampere platform.

The BMC 10 is an independent service processor, which is used to manage and monitor each hardware device in the computer system. For example, the BMC 10 can be used to manage the server, including error query, error warning, error reporting, and isolation on error of hardware devices.

The chip selection module 20 includes N chip selection units, N is an integer greater than 1. The type and quantity of the chip selection units in the chip selection module 20 are set according to the platforms that the DC-SCM can support.

For example, if the first chip selection unit 21 is compatible with the Intel platform motherboard for the alert signal on the ESPI bus, the first chip selection unit 21 is associated with the Intel platform motherboard type, and the alert signal can be an alarm signal. The first chip selection unit 21 includes a chip selection signal line eSPI_CS (shown in FIG. 2 ) for connecting to the Intel platform. The ESPI_CS signal required by the Intel platform is transmitted between the data center security control module 100 and the Intel platform through the chip selection signal line eSPI_CS. The ESPI_CS signal is used to select the device or chip on the server plugged into the data center security control module 100. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the platform controller hub (PCH) on the Intel platform can be selected.

For the AMD platform and Ampere platform motherboards for the alert signal on the ESPI bus, the second chip selection unit 22 can be compatible with the AMD platform or the Ampere platform for the alert signal on the ESPI bus, and the second chip selection unit 22 is associated with the type of the AMD platform or the Ampere platform motherboard. The second chip selection unit 22 includes an input signal line ESPI_IO1 (shown in FIG. 2 ) for connection with the BMC 10 and an output signal line ESPI_IO2 (shown in FIG. 2 ) for connection with the AMD platform or the Ampere platform. The ESPI_IO signal required by the AMD platform or the Ampere platform is transmitted between the data center security control module 100 and the AMD platform or between the data center security control module 100 and the Ampere platform through the input signal line ESPI_IO1 and the output signal line ESPI_IO2. The ESPI_IO signal includes information in form of data. For example, the data information can be the BIOS startup process (such as run BIOS stage) and other information that will be exchanged between the PCH and the BMC 10 of the server during the BIOS startup process in the server.

Both the first chip selection unit 21 and the second chip selection unit 22 include a signal line for transmitting an alert signal. The signal line can be used to transmit alarm information between the data center security control module 100 and the Intel platform, between the data center security control module 100 and the AMD platform, and between the data center security control module 100 and the Ampere platform. It is understood that the first chip selection unit 21 may be a first chip selector, and the second chip selection unit 22 may be a second chip selector.

The control module 30 is used to obtain information as to the motherboard type of the computer system into which the current data center security control module 100 is plugged. When the user inserts the data center security control module 100 into the Intel platform, the data center security control module 100 can request the Intel platform for its motherboard type, or the Intel platform can actively send its motherboard type to the control module 30 of the data center security control module 100.

For example, the first chip selection unit 21 corresponds to the Intel platform and the second chip selection unit 22 corresponds to the AMD platform design. If the control module 30 obtains the motherboard type of the currently inserted motherboard as being Intel platform motherboard 40, the control module 30 inputs the corresponding control signal to the first chip selection unit 21 to activate the first chip selection unit 21, the first chip selection unit 21 can transmit the alert signal to the Intel platform motherboard 40 according to the requirements of the Intel platform motherboard 40 for the alert signal. If the control module 30 obtains the motherboard type of the currently inserted motherboard as being AMD platform motherboard 40, the control module 30 inputs the corresponding control signal to the second chip selection unit 22 to activate the second chip selection unit 22, the second chip selection unit 22 can transmit the alert signal to the Intel platform motherboard 40 according to the requirements of the AMD platform motherboard 50 for the alert signal.

The above data center security control module 100 may also include BMC flash, BIOS flash, TPM (trusted platform module), etc. The BMC flash is used to store firmware of the BMC. The BIOS flash is used to store BIOS firmware. The TPM is used for server security.

The data center security control module control method can be applied to the data center security control module 100 in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 above, and the data center security control module control method can be executed by the control module 30.

Each block shown in FIG. 3 represents one or more processes, methods, or subroutines, carried out in the example method. Furthermore, the illustrated order of blocks is illustrative only and the order of the blocks can change. Additional blocks can be added or fewer blocks may be utilized, without departing from the present disclosure. The example method can begin at block 301.

At block 301, obtaining information as to motherboard type of the currently connected motherboard.

At block 302, starting a chip selection unit according to the motherboard type.

As shown in FIG. 2 , suppose the user inserts the data center security control module 100 into the Intel platform. The data center security control module 100 establishes connection with the Intel platform motherboard 40. The first CPLD 31 obtains the signal as to motherboard type (PLANTE_TYPE0/1 signal) transmitted by the second CPLD 60 on the Intel platform.

The first CPLD 31 detects that the PLANTE_TYPE0/1 signal is 00, the first CPLD 31 can output the first control signal CS1 to the first selection end S1 of the first multiplexer 211 through the first control line CL1, and the first CPLD 31 can output the second control signal CS2 to the second selection end S2 of the second multiplexer 212 through the second control line CL2. The first CPLD 31 does not output the third control signal CS3 to the third selection end S3 of the third multiplexer 221. That is, when the currently connected motherboard type is the Intel platform motherboard 40, the first chip selection unit 21 is started, and the second chip selection unit 22 is not started.

If the first CLPD 31 outputs the first control signal CS1 at the high level and the second control signal CS2 at the high level according to the requirements of the Intel platform, the first multiplexer 211 turns on the connection between the first input end A1 and the first output end B1, and the second multiplexer 212 turns on the connection between the second input end A2 and the third output end B3.

The first input end A1 of the first multiplexer 211 receives the alert signal transmitted by the BMC 10 through the first alarm signal line eSPI_alert1. The first multiplexer 211 transmits the alert signal received by the first input end A1 to the second input end A2 of the second multiplexer 212 through the second alarm signal line eSPI_alert2. The second multiplexer 212 transmits the ESPI_CS signal to the first end D1 of the integrated south bridge 41 through the chip selection signal line eSPI_CS.

If the BMC 10 outputs an alert signal to the first multiplexer 211, the first input end A1 receives the alert signal at the high level, and the second multiplexer 212 outputs an ESPI_CS signal at high level. The first end D1 of the integrated south Bridge 41 receives the ESPI_CS signal at the high level. The ESPI_CS signal at the high level means that the integrated south Bridge 41 is selected by the BMC 10. If the BMC 10 does not output an alert signal to the first multiplexer 211, the second multiplexer 212 outputs an ESPI_CS signal at low level. The first end D1 of the integrated south Bridge 41 receives the ESPI_CS signal at the low level. The ESPI_CS signal at the low level means that the integrated south Bridge 41 is not selected by the BMC 10.

If the first CLPD 31 outputs the first control signal CS1 at the low level according to the requirements of the Intel platform, the first multiplexer 211 turns on the connection between the first input end A1 and the second output end B2, and the first multiplexer 211 transmits the alert signal received from the first input end A1 to the second end D2 of the integrated south bridge 41 through the third alarm signal line eSPI_alert3.

In some embodiments, the first CLPD 31 outputs the first control signal CS1 at the high level and the second control signal CS2 at the low level according to the requirements of the Intel platform. The first multiplexer 211 turns on the connection between the first input end A1 and the first output end B1, the second multiplexer 212 turns on the connection between the second input end A2 and the fourth output end B4, and the fourth output end B4 outputs the alert signal received by the first input end A1 and transmits the alert signal to the second end D2 of the integrated south bridge 41.

Suppose that the user inserts the data center security control module 100 into the AMD platform; the data center security control module 100 establishes connection with the AMD platform motherboard 50 and the first CPLD 31 obtains the motherboard type (PLANTE_TYPE0/1 signal) transmitted by the second CPLD 60 on the AMD platform. The third input end A3 of the third multiplexer 221 receives the ESPI_IO signal transmitted by the BMC 10 through the input signal line eSPI_IO1.

The first CPLD 31 detects that the PLANTE_TYPE0/1 signal is 01, the first CPLD 31 can output the third control signal CS3 to the third selection end S3 of the third multiplexer 221 through the third control line CL3, and the first CPLD 31 can output the first control signal CS1 to the first multiplexer 211. That is, when the currently connected motherboard type is the AMD platform motherboard 50, the second chip selection unit 22 is started, and the first chip selection unit 21 is not started.

If the first CLPD 31 outputs the third control signal CS3 at the low level according to the requirements of the AMD platform, the third multiplexer 221 turns on the connection between the third input end A3 and the sixth output end B6. The third multiplexer 221 transmits the ESPI_I0 signal received by the third input end A3 to the second end E2 of CPU 51 on AMD platform motherboard through output signal line eSPI_IO2.

If the first CLPD 31 outputs the third control signal CS3 at the high level and the first control signal CS1 at the low level according to the requirements of the AMD platform, the third multiplexer 221 turns on the connection between the third input end A3 and the fifth output end B5, and the first multiplexer 211 turns on the connection between the first input end A1 and the second output end B2. The first multiplexer 211 transmits the alert signal output from the first port AD7 of the BMC 10 to the fourth alarm signal line eSPI_alert4 through the third alarm signal lines eSPI_alert3. If the third input end A3 of the third multiplexer 221 receives the ESPI_I0 signal transmitted by the BMC 10, the third multiplexer 221 transmits the alert signal and the ESPI_IO signal to the first end E1 of the CPU 51 through the fourth alarm signal line eSPI_alert4.

The above data center security control module 100 determines the motherboard type of the currently connected platform through the first CPLD, and then starts the corresponding chip selection unit to suit the motherboard of the connected platform, so that the corresponding chip selection unit can transmit the alert signal according to the requirements of the motherboard of the connected platform for the alert signal, so that the alert signal can automatically adapt to the motherboards of different platforms. The data center security control module 100 of the present disclosure can save the design cost and manufacturing cost.
